EHR’s can offer great value, feed research and give thorough data collection and analysis. However, concern has been expressed that it is interfering with rather than facilitating doctor-patient interactions.

“The issue may not be so much the failure of EHRs, as their falling short of unduly high expectations -- expectations not only from the people who use them, but also the vendors themselves.

“I think it’s a myth that EHR vendors are going to be able to provide everything. Every other industry has proven this wrong, says Joanne Rohde, CEO of Axial Exchange, in an interview with Healthcare IT News.”
